Hi ForceMajuere,
It appears that your logic is absent for some, and contradictory for others.
1) Consider your 4,3,5,2,1 answered.
I can consider that the sun has quit shining, but that doesn't make it so. Neither have you answered the 4,3,5,2,1.
2) you are 'extrapolating' a meaning based on the current geopolitical situation.
Why is it that world history doesn't apply for the 1900s, but apparently applies for the 1800s: This country was 1st the domain of the 3 Horns(England, France, and Spain) and through conquest and aquisition came into it's own.
3) Remember, (Rev. 13:2) "And the beast which I saw is like unto a leopard".
This is FALSE. You have only provided 1/3 of the truth, and by implication, have misrepresented the fact that this "beast" has THREE components, which are the concurrent 3-wonder-powers, as represented by the FOURTH one-world-government.
4) Britain, France, and Spain all owe their existance to Rome-they were Roman colonies. This is a historical fact-do you care to argue?
Yes I do chose to argue with your point. -- Nearly ALL government in the world today have a representative form of government which is based upon the ROMAN Republic. To select an arbritrary three, misrepresents that truth.
5) it is not a kingdom,
I really don't think that parsing words benefits this discussion. If you don't want scripture to refer to a President/Prime-Minister/Chancellor/etc., as a "king", then I really don't think I can solve that problem.
So too for nations, empires, and "kingdoms"...
I will leave you to answer 4,3,5,2,1...
With Best Regards,
DaDad
1) Again-4,3,5,2,1 doesn't matter, if the entire Statue is crumbling and falling apart. However, if it works for your interpretation-fine.
2) Since your interpretation requires extrapolation of the current geopolitical situation, that's OK, too. And if the current geopolitical situation changes radically, as it has in the last 20 or so years, that's OK, too. Just change your interpretation to accomodate the current geopolitical situation.
3) I can't change the words in my bible to mean something other than what it says. My bible says,"
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."(Rev. 13:2)
So, when I describe 'him', I am describing a 'leopard-like' being, with a lion's mouth, and bear's feet. Hmm-where have I seen this before?
Oh yeah, in Dan. 7:4-6. Daniel is describing the 1st 3 beasts, who have the same features as Rev. 13:2. Could this be mere coincidence? Yeah, probably. Anyway, it doesn't fit the current geopolical situation so I'll just chuck it out the window and go with my instincts-it sounds more exciting than dredging up old forgotten kingdoms, anyway.
4) I think I went to a very good High School(the one that Al Franken attended), and they said with a certainty that England, France and Spain were all colonies of Rome. Whatever. Maybe it was just some 'revisionist' garbage-you know they'll tell kids anything, nowadays.
5) I guess the last point you could have a legitimate beef with. After all, I did say that the Holy Roman Empire, was neither particularly 'holy', nor 'roman', nor 'an empire'. But they did do a lot of intermarrying, that's my interpretation of "
they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is mixed with clay."(Dan. 7:43) I believe that this is simular to,"
and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him."(Dan 11:17)
Whatever, pick the meaning that works best for you.
Sincerely,
FM
